A lot of you wrote in to ask if I think
Zynga board games are so evil, why did I buy them?
Well I had to buy them to have them
as props for my video rant.
Also I had to play test them and find out
just how evil they are so I could inform you about them
so if you think about it, I bought them for you.
ravingmalcontent writes, Angry Birds and Minecraft
have made real world analog copies themselves.
Nintendo and Atari have been making
board game knockoffs for years.
That's all true and I'm not saying
that Zynga is the first person to do this.
I'm saying that they have taken to an infernal new low.
Joshua Dorantes says, they're also copying game publisher
THQ's going out of business plan.
Zing.
Hexilux writes, tabletop games are finally starting
to gain ground again and you go
and have to find a problem with it.
Oh Hexilux, I don't have a problem
with innovative original board games and tabletop games.
I have sponsored several of them on Kickstarter
I have a problem with cynical knockoffs.
In my video rant, I ask you all to tell on the comments
what's the most amount of time
you ever devoted to a social game.
Mirror576, 19 hours and 23 minutes.
Caden Welt, 63 hours and a about 20 minutes.
Perriflock, 32 hours.
That is impressive and dangerous.
Kitten Alchemist has a recommendation.
She writes, you're completely right.
Now you should rant about
people's grammar on YouTube comments.
Kitten Alchemist, I believe it's important to get angry
and get ranty about things that are important to you
but somethings are just impossible, so huge,
so difficult to deal with that you just have to
throw up your hands in despair.
YouTube grammar, that's one of them.
Thanks for watching, subscribe to the WIRED channel
and keep the comments coming.
There's a lot of stuff I'm angry about.
(classical music)
What's getting under your skin?
Make a video and let me know.
Everyone's got an angry nerd in them.
